What Is the Concept of “Turing Completeness” in Relation to Smart Contract Platforms?

A Turing-complete smart contract platform, like Ethereum, means its programming language is theoretically capable of solving any computational problem, given enough time and memory. This allows developers to write complex, conditional logic for smart contracts, enabling sophisticated applications like decentralized finance (DeFi).
